Sometimes you can just take in the leg of pants on one side only.
These wide leg pants needed to be reduced to a skinny leg. Sewing one side only would make a weird dog leg so both sides have to be reduced evenly.

Dress to skirt and jacket conversion.

A customer loved the fabric of this dress and asked for it to be made into a skirt.

The skirt is fitted with darts, a curved inside facing and a centre back invisible zip.

As I couldn’t replace the eyelets I instead patched the holes and made new decorative stitched eyelets to match the embroidery instead.
